The Cadets First Year at West
Point.

The summer camp is one round OF
labor for the ''piebe, as the first year
man is called at West Point. If he
were transported to another plaret
there could hardly be greater change
in his life than that which he expert
ences when he leaves the comforts OF
his home and plunges into the routine
Of military drill and discipline of
West Point. He rises at 8 in the
morning for reveille. and in half an
hour marches to breakfast, .he inter-
val being employed in doing the pol.
icing of his own tent and OF the tent
of the cadet to whom he may stand
in the relation OF ''special-duty man."
When he walks he marches with de-
pressed toes and outspread palms.
He has two hours OF drill every morn
ing and another hour with parade IN
is half-past eight. he may retire; but
no downy couch awaits him. He
spreads his blanket on the tent
floor, and spreads himself on
that. with a quilt drawn over him
for protection against the night cold.
The only change from this programme
is on Sundays, or on days when he
marches on guard. On Sunday there
is the Sunday morning inspection and
two hours at chapel, making it any
thing but q day OF rest; and when, as
n sentinel. he marches on guard in the
morning he walks post two hours
at stretch in sunshine and in rain
with four hours intervals, during the
whole "a hours that elapse before the
guard is relieved. This much, in gener-
al, falls to the lot OF every plebe in
the way OF duty. Aside from this
comes in the question of his treat
ment by older cadets. Ability to sing,
play, dance, or render ones self en-
teri aiming in some such way is highly
appreciated by cadets; and readiness
to exersize what few accomplishments
he may possess usually saves the
plebe much harassing. OF course all
do not escape so easily. Many have
Guns to clean and water to carry and
bedding to pile for the upper-class
men. and are unpleasantly '.roughed"
in other ways; but the ill usage which
a new cadet ordinarily receives is al
most always exaggerated in the ac-
counts which reach the p bile through
the prcss.-St. Nicholas.

Secret of Hawthorne's Success.

ney told OF the beautiful character of
the man whose stories reflect thesweet-
ness OF his nature-tlIe man whose
works stamp him pre-eminently the
first American novelist. He was a
man who cared more for a few friends
than many acquaintances, and the
natural result was that he was not
appreciated by the many who did not
enjoy his friendship. A recent writer
to one of the New York papers tells
the following story, which shows how
Hawthorne was regarded by the in

In horses the pulse at rest beats
forty times. in an OK from fifty.five,
in sheep and pigs about seventy to
eighty beats a minute. It may be
felt wherever q large artery crosses a
bone. 1t is generally examined in a
horse on the cord which crosses over
the bone of the lower jaw in front of
its curved position, or in the bony
ridge above the eye; and in cattle
over the middle oil the first rib, and in
sheep by placing the hand on the left
side, where the beating OF the heart
may he felt. Any material variation
OF the pulse from the figures given
above. may he considered sign of
disease. If rapid, hard and full, it is
an indication of high fever or infam-
nation; if rapid, small and weak, low
fever, loss OF blood or weakness. II
slow, the probabilities point to brain
disease, and ii irregular, to heart
troubles. This is one OF the principal
and sure tests of the health OF the AMI
NAL.
